Both are exceptionally attractive and capable American mid-sized factory rocket ships. I am really delighted to have diecast replicas of each of these automobiles in 1/18 scale.

I like both very much but prefer the styling, wheels and stance of the Olds.

The 66 & 67 442 are both favorites of mine so I voted Olds. There’s so much styling to the Olds…look at the way the bumper is styled into the fender. Then there are those beautifully sculpted flairs over the wheel wells and that roofline… I love this 442 more than any other ‘66 GM.

@100ford2003   Steve;

This Buick Skylark GS is a close contender to the Olds 442 for '66.

That Oldsmobile is too handsome not to win.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I voted tie,  I really like both bodystyles. Especially after the Comet transitioned into the sister car of the Fairlane.😊

I went straight Mercury, it was not until the 68 442 came around that I started to like them.

The front of that 442 really appeals to me. I could drive either.

Like GMC styling '65 but, '66 up I just don't care for their styling, the exception being the '66 & '67 GTO.

Comet is good for me.

I bought for '66:

5   66 Coronet 440 1967 (3)
5   66 Coronet 440 1967 (2)

I like the 442.  The Mercury is to bland

I'm not generally an Oldsmobile guy but the 4-4-2 wins handily today for me.
